Food card policy best, allows for individua appetites
by Mark Rentz
The average student at Bethel
must spend 63 cents a meal if he
hopes to keep within the 10 card
minimum this semester.
The $1.89 a day allocation for
appetite is not mandatory how-ever,
and one can spend the whole
days ration if he (she) likes buying
sweet and sour pork on rice and
two milk cartons.
In the Bethel 78-79 catalog food
expenses are estimated at ap-proximately
$475-750 for the
academic year.
All students living in college
housing on the Arden Hills Cam-pus
are required to participate in
the Food Service plan.
Minimum participation for the
fall semester is $250 and the
spring semester is $225. If anyone
exceeds the minimum cost, addi-tional
food cards may be pur-chased.
Each food card is the equiva-lent
to $25 and each student who
lives on campus is given 10 cards.
Wayne Erickson, co-manager
of Food Service, wondered if
some students misunderstood the
food card system.
Erickson explained that the
food card minimum of 10 cards is
not necessarily going to be enough
for everyone and that those with
bigger appetites should eat accor-dingly
and buy more cards.

computer system
by Debbie Bunger
In past years, bookstore bills
were due on the first of each
month with a one per cent interest
charge compounded monthly for
any delay. One would rush to the
bookstore to pay as soon as he
received the bill in his P 0.
If this same behavior was fol-lowed
this year, the student
would be confronted with a
strange look and a smile and told
to report to the banking window
to take care of his business.
"The billing system is not
new," states John Bergeson, ac-countant
in the business office.
"The original tuition system had
the capability and we just incor-porated
the bookstore billing into
it."

In the townhouses pop tarts and
popcorn pop up and bread is

Yet according to Paul Drake,
director of auxiliary enterprises,
"Only 131 out of 351 food items
have increased in price over the
last two years. Our average in-crease
amounted to 7.8%."
The two food categories that
are the most expensive are items
that are often selected. The "Full
Dinner Entries" and the "Meat
Entree" rose in price this past
year on the average of 24.5 cents
and 14.5 cents in their respective
categories.
Salads, and soups and chow-ders
have not risen in price for the
last two years.
The food card system, which
was introduced at Bethel in 1972,
is the least expensive of some
seven Christian Colleges that
were randomly selected for com-parison

For example, Wheaton and Biola

percent and 45 percent higher
(almost double the minimum 19
card cost) than at Bethel this
year.

food price for each student with
an all you can eat policy. Other
schools, such as Northwestern, do
not have weekend meals and
charge a flat rate that is 36.6

Bethel's philosophy of security
has always been to provide some
type of security for the commun-ity,
buildings and students. How-ever,
it has never claimed, nor is
it attempting, to be a 100 per cent
fool proof system.
The present program, which
has developed over the past few
years has undergone only a few
changes this year, says Jim Wal-cott,
director of parking and
security.
One recent change was hiring a
male student to live in Bodein for
security purposes. Also added to
the security staff this year is a
combination ticket officer-secur-ity
man working from 5 to 10 p.m.
each day.
The course that Bethel security
has taken over these last few
years is largely due to the work of
Glen Hayne, former superinten-dent
of buildings and grounds.
Several years ago Hayne did a
study on a number of college
of the colleges studied.
"The all you can eat policy,"
said Drake, "of some schools for
one standard price is unfair to
those who don't eat much. The
food card system is very fair, it
allows for the individual appetite
and you pay only for what you
eat."
"Also in the food card policy,"
added Drake, "there is virtually
no waste. Students eat almost
security systems across the na-tion,

would work best at Bethel.

Hayne discovered was that

idea of having a gate where IDs
could be checked.
Northwestern College, just
south of Bethel on Snelling, has a
much more involved system than
Bethel does. They employ off-duty
sheriffs and have their own
squad car for security use.
everything they buy. In the all
you can eat policy there is tre-mendous
waste and high yearly
food costs."
Drake also commented that
people should realize that they
don't have to be stuffed to be well
nourished.
So far no one has soaked
spaghetti in the bathtubs or
roasted marshmellows over the
heater.
Northwestern uses this system
because their campus is so spread
-out.
"Maybe there is a better pro-gram
in the future," says Walcott
speaking of the present system,
"but this is certainly a first step."
One of the problems the secur-ity
system faces is that of having
to deal with insiders and out-siders
who violate security. To
maximize protection, Walcott
urges students to cooporate with
the security men, and to keep
their rooms and cars locked.
